I see. That's a bit of a hole in the subversion API, although I guess it
is only a problem for GUI clients. Is there a feature request in the SVN
issuetracker to get folder status only?

Another question: can we get folder status from the cache. It's not
guaranteed to be up-to-date, but it could be better than assuming the
status is always 'normal'.
